STORE ACCOUNTS,

lfyou are good pay these are
the easiest things in creation to
make, especially if you consider how
hard it is to unmake them, that is to
settle them. A few dollars now and
a few dollars next week. November
comes and your account is about
twice as large as you expected
There are two reasons for this. When
you do not have to pay the cash, you
buy more than you would if you had
the money, for by miraculous
stretch Of the imagination you con-
clude that You can pay next fall.
Again, when you buy on time you
pay from fifty to one hundred per
cent. You buy meat in July for
nine cents a pound when it costs the
merchant but six. This is fifty per
cent in the half year one hundred
per cent in the whole year, You
have bought more at a higher price,
which makes your expenses about
double what they would be if you
did not buy on time.

lie drew for his months pay sos in
bills. The money was in an envel-
ope and without counting it, he
thought he took all out and put it in
his pocket. In the evening he and
his wife were starting out to do some
shopping, when he stopped to light q
pipe. For this purpose he used the
p;lyi envelope. When the pipe was
lit he threw the envelope back on
the fire. As it blazed up and then
sank into ashes he thought he saw
more than an envelope there. Pull
ing his money from his pocket he found
but three dollars there. The $50

TO facilitate the operation of plas-
tering device has lately been in
vented, termed a plasterer's platform,
which is set on casters and may be
elevated or lowered to wall or ceiling
as the convenience OF The workman
may require. Accompanying this ar
rangement is an improved two-hand
trowel, and the platform is capable
of extension in u horizontal as well
as in vertical direction. Thus, by
the combined use of the two, all cum
bersome staging and the old time hod
and short single-handed trowel are
dispensed with. The mortar is plac-
ed in an extensible trough, which is
suspended on the platform at point
and in a manner convenient to work
men; the apparatus can readily be
moved endwise from room to room,

CALL FOR A NEW NORTH.
Nashville American.

While we are listening to SO much
rant and can'tabout the new south"
by all means let us have a new north.
What this country really needs is a
new north north that will have
less Of Puritan bigotry, intolerance,
arrogance and less Of Puritan dispo-
sition to depreciate others and boast
of its own virtues. If the people Of
the north could be convinced that
they are really no better than some
other people that God has made,
and that they have some very serious
imperfections of their own that need
mending ; if they could be persuaded
to stop monkeying with their broth
er's eye and give some little atten-
ton to the beam that is in their own,
we should come to better understands
ing and have a better feeling all
around.
